Cops beating African American until white guy steps in

submitted by Gratefulmom

8 years 8 months 2 weeks ago

Via YouTube: A white man just risked his life for an African American man being beaten by police. They reacted by arresting him and to publicly humiliate him.

Nice sentiment, but this guy needs help paying his legal bill, not help becoming an internet star.

Good job though. If you see someone abusing another person, you should try to stop it, no matter what the people are wearing. He should have said the words 'I'm placing you under citizens arrest' though. It could have saved him one hell of a charge of battery on a police officer (or even attempted murder, they love to over charge when police get hurt).

Would like a LITTLE context here. Nothing in this video even approaches 'beating', save for the assault on the officer.

I'm sorry but i wish i could down-vote this garbage twice.

There are enough real examples of police brutality and excess, this does nothing but destroy credibility.

I'd actually downvote this too, but Ive never downvoted anything before so I need to read up on it first. That said...
Half the video is the text scrawl of someones personal opinion, and as @Januari already pointed out the thing is a complete mess otherwise. No context, obvious bias, hugely amateur presentation, etc.

I am 100% behind the gesture though.

Ok then....all I can say is "OUCH"

Moving this video to Gratefulmom's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
